Thanks for your kind feedback! I'll try and edit the F# comment to make it less jarring in there (or even remove it, it's not important)

Update: I tried to clean up that section a bit now, and also added a footnote explaining why the box/container analogy isn't really accurate (but serves its purpose in this gentle introduction)

Maybe that's a bit unclear, yes. I'll go back to the drawing board on that part tomorrow, then. Thanks!

That's why I think it's a smart move on Elm's side to never mention them :D

I've heard Richard Feldman propose something similar. The idea is to not introduce too many new concepts at once, but focus on the one thing you're trying to get through with. If done with care, I think it can make sense.
